Jeralt’s diary is mostly full of stories about Byleth, and then just paragraphs gushing over how much he loves his kid and how proud he is of them, sorry I dont make the rules

#fe16 #u were a real one for an fe dad jeralt. man

Def still thinking abt the notes i found on an old discord convo heavily featuring anselma con fire emblem bc i want to pick her brains so badly. there’s a lot of em in these games but damn what a woman to haunt the narrative

#fe16 #i heart morally ambiguous milfs who would do Anything good or bad for their close family #(of all the characters i think rhea could be a genuinely fascinating foil for anselma but i haven’t explored that enough yet #to have a definitive answer since it wasn’t in the notes) #i ALSO heart not fridging fire emblem moms. seriously video game what the FUCK happened to her after tragedy of duscur #also there was an au bullet point of ‘anselma/lambert oopsie baby and the consequences thereof’ #esp for the tragedy of edelgard partially- though still Very personally- movitaved by the horrible deaths of every single one of her sibling #and she wouldn’t even know about the sibling ‘left’. nor does she know about her mothers fate serIOUSLY KT WHAT HAPPENED TO ANSELMA-

The whole scene where Shinon gets reprimanded for looting corpses always seemed weird to me, considering how the Greil Mercenaries' main method of gaining new equipment is looting corpses.

IDK, maybe ike and Soren just took this oppurtunity to bully Shinon for a change.

I find trying draw special effects helps understand brushes. Here's mjolnir

Hi ! Would it be possible for you to use Edelgard critical or Edelgard discourse as tags ? It help to make the fandom more civil and make it a better space in general.

Thanks you for reading, have a good day ! ( Also feel free to ignore this message if you don't want to )

i mean i.... can? but i havent posted abt fe16 that touches on that specific topic in, if i recall correctly, years. Nor do i intend to post on the topic publicly in the future, im just kinda vibing. So im not going to be going back and backtagging a bunch of posts from early 2020s and 2019, sorry thats too much work to be worth it :( nobody will be scrolling down the search/tag that far anyway i assume

#in general when i lightly kvetch abt characters and their writing and plot #i no longer use fandom tags when i can help it so it doesnt show up in the main tag #nor does it attract the certain kind of person who goes through the 'critical' tags to stir shit up #i just mind my own business and stay in my lane these days and have been for a good while #IN GENERALTHO i am pro-tagging-things-for-blackisting-reasons #the specific timeline of all this being old just makes it a moot point #btw anon i aint mad at u Promise. i just have a habit of overexplaining to avoid conflict or bruised feelings

[anankos]

ok wait i’m starting to feel maybe an fe16 kick again bc there’s an ashe centric oneshot i never got to finish which was mostly an excuse to Make A Real Character out of a canon mc’s mom (as i am wont to do)

#fe16 #w/ the whole governance of Gaspard + siblings are obvious hostage bait to keep him in place some On #so how did he make it to hunting by daybreak #anyway my answer was Yuri’s Mom. after she was no longer threatened by mr mullethead she started her eh own business #which tldr one of the most informed info networks in southwest faerghus is maintained by yuri’s several dozen ‘older sisters’ #(escorts. there sex workers). #Yuris up to Other Business but Mom Leclerc is down to help shake up Count Rowe for personal reasons now that Ashe can give her an in #also it’s so nice to see her boy making more real friends <3 esp those with lawbreaking skills and noble connections <3333

anselma von arundel i need to spin you in a microwave and pick your brains so bad

#and also get my hands on that ENTIRE DROPPWD PLOT THREAD #fascinating woman. i feel she has many layers both good and bad to peel away #rip to mitya but i want to REALLY dig in to her thought processes between the insurrection and whatever happened after the tragedy #given circumstances edelgard taking after her so strongly is very fun to use as an extrapolating point. the whole ‘no cost too great’ thing

byleth: ...oh. huh. guess he really wanted a son.

jeralt: MY KID IS HIS OWN PERSON!!!!!!

#fe16 #i miss u jeralt: shame about the fire emblem dads curse

somehow, through a series of events, this ended in Sylvain and Edelgard of all people being the only people besides Jeralt to speak Byleth-ese (on account of knowing them for years before Academy Phase).

i kind of want to resurrect the No Historical Revision au for a small thing to do- just a few character centric oneshots, no war phase as of yet, but Edelgard's backstory is a lot more canon adjacent than the other main characters so im gonna workshop a way to make it less that

#also sylvain is slowly becoming a fav character in the context of this au since his main Obnoxious Trait #isnt really present due to the changes in canon. and jeralt wrings him into shape anyway lol #fe16 #also just the potential for comedy is incredible. esp contrasted to the fucked up stuff that happens

not to be pretentious, but a lot of stuff you guys complain is being ruined by capitalism/the algorithm/whatever can be solved by consuming something else than the most basic mainstream stuff that's thrown in your lap. "songs nowadays are getting shorter to fit entire tiktoks and it's ruining music" have you tried listening to something else than Spotify's Top 100 my dude? "fanfiction-to-publishing pipeline is churning out mediocre books and it's ruining literature" have you tried reading something outside the NYT bestseller list my dude? This is not a post about how algorithm based industries give visibility to the lowest common denominator art at the expense of actually creative and meaningful art that struggles to make itself known, which is a valid discussion for another time, this is about people actively not giving this kind of art their visibility because they won't get out of their way to discover stuff outside the mainstream radar and prefer to be passively fed what to consume while bitching that is not up to their tastes.
